In a broad sense, "pruning" refers to pruning the posture of trees, and "cutting" refers to cutting off branches. Pruning is shaping and pruning. By pruning and shaping, diseased branches, weak branches and over-dense branches and leaves are cut off, so that the plant type is neat, well-defined, patchy, moderately high, beautiful in shape and ornamental value is improved. Moreover, cutting unnecessary branches in time can save nutrients, adjust tree vigor, improve light transmission conditions, regulate the growth and development of flowers and trees, promote robust growth, bear more flowers and reduce pests and diseases.

Pruning foliage plants will help to germinate new technologies, produce more leaves and enhance the ornamental effect. If you don't trim and reshape for a long time, first, the branches at the base of flowers and trees grow into clusters, and the nutrition is scattered, and the proportion of branches is out of balance, which is often prone to the situation that the branches are flourishing above and the legs are bare below, which is very ugly; Second, let it grow naturally, not only will the branches grow in disorder, but they will grow taller and taller. Some flowers and trees planted indoors will affect indoor lighting, the flowering position will move up, the amount of flowers will be greatly reduced, and the ornamental effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, pruning and shaping is an essential management measure for planting flowers and a powerful means for shaping flowers. The flower proverb "seven points depend on management and three points depend on cutting" is scientific and an important experience in flower cultivation. Pruning and shaping are especially suitable for flowers with thin and dense branches (such as hibiscus and potted grapes), many and small leaves (such as snow, potted pomegranate and Milan) and strong wound healing ability.
